The u/s SPRs are treated and handled exactly like their (x)epc
equivalents. On entry to or exit from a privilege level, the contents
-of its (x)eSTATE are swapped with STATE.
+of its (x)eSTATE are swapped with SVSTATE.
# MAXVECTORLENGTH (MVL) <a name="mvl" />
* SRR0 to store the PC (CIA/NIA)
* SRR1 to store a copy of the MSR
-Given that SVSTATE is effectively a Sub-PC it is critically important to add saving/restoring of SVSTATE as a full peer equal in status to PC, in every way. At any time PC is saved or restored, so is SVSTATE in **exactly** the same way for **exactly** the same reasons.

The SPR name given for the purposes of saving/restoring SVSTATE is SVSRR0.
